11th December in central London. It’s from 6–9pm, giving the five of us time to present 10 great Champagnes, two from each of the five
houses, and time to break for canapés and a chat with our select group of attendees.
There’s even a goodie bag to take home which includes a bottle of Champagne
from one of these five great houses.

Drool over the detailed programme and then the full tasting list below, but don’t spend too
long because the event is strictly limited to 30 participants, however many
ticket applications.

Nitty gritty: tickets cost £130 per person, to include all of the above (see full list of Champagnes below). Send an email to fizz@thewinegang.com telling us how many tickets you require. We will hold the tickets and issue BACS or cheque payment instructions. Alternatively you may pay instantly, using credit or debit card http://www.thewinegang.com/about/fizz

About Me

I'm an award-winning wine writer for long associated with The Sunday Times in the UK, but in 2009 I finally swapped the weekly wine column for the wine & food editor's chair at House & Garden magazine. I'm a co-founder of www.thewinegang.com, the UK's leading independent wine recommendation website, and I write for a wide variety of other publications. My books, published all over the world and in some countries under the name Joanna Simonová, include Wine An Introduction, Discovering Wine, The Sunday Times Book of Wine, and Wine with Food. I'm a senior judge at top international wine competitions and give tastings to consumer groups and one-to-one fast-track tutorials. As a broadcaster I presented The Bottle Uncorked on BBC Radio 4 and my TV appearances have covered everything from matching wine and food to buying at auction to vodka. I'm a former editor of both Wine & Spirit and Wine magazines in the UK. That's enough 'I's.
